5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite CD's, April 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dissent (Audio CD)

This isn't a really unique CD, or an incredibly creative one. Still though, it creates such perfect soundscapes to the lyric storys about all kinds of VU'ish sultriness. It's a very cokey record, and is filled with desperate clinging and casual insanity. Caroline Fitch's vocals are so perfectly sexy and dangerous and half there, and the guitars cut and thrust so angrily. If you like Garbage, Hole, or the Velvets you may like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars How did this get overlooked?, June 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dissent (Audio CD)

This is hot, there are five very good songs (Marquis, On A Tuesday, Restriction, Ray Liotta and Smear) that rock on out in the mode of maybe Magnapop or Letters to Cleo at their best. The female lead singer doesn't have a lot of range, pretty much spoken-voice type singing with a sneer, but it works with the music. Makes you stomp, it's great straight-forward nasty rock.

To be fair, some of what the review above says is true. This is a fairly dark album, and is very angst filled. However, much alternative music with female vocals seems to follow that kind of pattern.

I love this, I think that some of the songs are very beautifully sung and the voice of Caroline Finch is ideally suited to the angsty lyrics.
